How can I set Rails user name?

I use root to start the Rails server. So all the operations on this
server will be root permission. For example, create a file in the server
disk. How can I change a user?

Start your rails server by other user.

Perhaps something like this:

#!/bin/sh

cd /path/to/rails

if [ /usr/bin/whoami = ‘root’ ]; then
/bin/su -c “/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -e production -p
6001 -d” rails_user
else
/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -e production -p 6001 -d
fi
